  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic. We have doctor Harley with us. How
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you doing doctor Harley?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey John, I'm doing fantastic this week.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. I don't know if you know this, but
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: you're a chiropractor right.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: When did that happen?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of different things when people think
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: about the healthcare world. We know like what a doctor is,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and then we hear things like chiropractor, and we hear
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: like physical therapists, and we hear.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: All of these different things.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What is the difference between those and how is it
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that somebody finds themselves coming to a chiropractor?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a great question.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: You know, let's look at this scenario like oh my
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: back hurts, I fear my back out, or you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Know, something happened and you're like, Okay, where should I go?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: What should I do? Should I just wait it out?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'll get better? Okay, you've gave it a day.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Or two, it's not really getting better, Like all right, now,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I got to start doing something about it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Where should I go?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people look at, well, what about
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: massage therapy? If I do massage therapy, which is a
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: great option. Massage is very therapeutic. You feel better, it
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: helps with your muscle tension and aches. The problem with
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I can see the massage therapy is it doesn't always
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: address the root of the cause of the problem. Your
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: muscle's hurt and they're tight, But if it's something going
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: on with your joint, so say your hip is locked
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: up and the you know it's out of alignment or
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: you know, something like that, massage therapy is not necessarly
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: gona be able to address that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: They're gonna help loosen up the muscles.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Things are gonna relax, it's gonna feel better, but a
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: few days later, the problem is gonna start getting coming
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: back again. So that's where we see it is like tyropractic.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You know, we're addressing that. Okay, that hip is stuck,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: it's not moving. We need to adjust it, making sure
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: that your hips are balanced and they're moving like they're
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: supposed to. You know, that way one side's not working
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: harder than the other to make up for that lack
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: of motion.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: From that one side.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, Okay, So you're like, well cool, my doctor sash,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: You'll probably do physical therapy. Maybe you look at physical therapy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Physical therapy is another great option. Again, it's gonna address
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of the muscle imbalance and the issues there.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You know, they're like, well, my right hip works harder
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: than my left hip. Again, what if it is because
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the one hip's not moving and the other hip is
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: having to move more. Again, it's gonna address the muscle imbalance.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: You know, strength on the one side, loosen the other side.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But if something's out of alignment, it's not really fixing.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: That right or you know, even on a nerve level.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe like we've talked about that in the past, how
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: when we have those misalignments in our spine we don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: always notice it right away, but it's kind of like
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that circuit breaker in your house that maybe the power
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: is just not getting to.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That spot like it should.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: So that's whe again we see as chiropractors, we're adjusting
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: your spine, helping it to move better, but also turning
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the lights back on in that spot, making sure that
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: your brain is communicating, say with that right hip, for example,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: making sure that it's talking and moving, those muscles are
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: working like they're supposed to. And if we don't address
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: that problem, the issue that you're having is going to
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: keep coming back. So that's where I find is chiropractice
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: were really digging deep into like the root cause of
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: the issue and making sure that the lights are turned down,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the nervous system is functioning and working like it's supposed
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: to that your body is working at maximum capacity, fixing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The root problem so then it doesn't come back like
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the second you walk away, right, you know, and people are.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, well, if it keeps going on, I'm gonna
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: have to keep coming back, you know to address the problem. Yes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: it's something that we're gonna have to keep working on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And there's different options and routes. You know, if you
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: want to continue with more of a maintenance based kind
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of thing to make sure that the problem's not coming back,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: or if you're just coming in when you need that
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: tune up. You know, that's where when we sit down
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and talk with you, we can address, Okay, what's actually
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: going on, you know, or do you have some factors
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: in your life that are causing this problem?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Can we address the external factors or is this someone.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: That's going to keep coming back, and then we can
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: talk about what that's going to look like. You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: as far as care goes with you and whatever issue
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you're dealing with, and you know, whatever route you decide
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: to go, your massage therapy, physical.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Therapy, chiropractic. We've talked about.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: There's other things too, but I always find that like
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: all of those in combination work the best. So if
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: you're seeing massage therapists, you're seeing a physical therapist, adding
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: a chiropractor is just going to increase, you know, your
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: recovery time and you'll boost your your health so you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: not having and dealing with these issues as much.
• 4:05
